Right, because it removes files automatically when they're removed from
disk. However it also monitors the directories for newly added files and
keeps a list of those. However its not sensible to automatically add
these to the project list so there's a menu option which presents you
with any "new" files (i.e. files that weren't in the projectlist when
kdevelop started or were removed and re-added) and you can select which
ones to add to the project and which don't get added.

The problem is that the dirwatching and the amount of code afterwards
(because from the dir watching I don't get more information than: hey
there happened something in here) is pretty expensive. So thats what
will be removed, which of course will "fix" your problem as the file
won't get removed unless you close and re-open the project after
removing and before cvs up.
